Quote by William R. Alger

The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little.

The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; it

Summary

This quote suggests that the true wealth of a person's soul is not determined by material possessions or external success, but by their capacity to experience and express emotions. The more deeply and intensely a soul can feel emotions such as love, compassion, joy, and even pain, the richer it is considered to be. Conversely, a soul that is emotionally closed-off and unaffected by the world is seen as poor, regardless of any outward signs of material wealth. This quote emphasizes the importance of emotional depth and richness in assessing the true value of a person's inner being.
